Haley Oberhofer, class of 2021: “As I reflect upon the privilege of
human dissection, I think it is akin to entering a new world. With
every dissection, I am embarking on a new adventure in hopes to
further my understanding of the human body.”
Emily Pregmon, class of 2021: “I was inspired by a letter we read
from a loved one of someone who donated their body to our
medical school. The writer asked us to not only try our hardest to
learn everything we could from her loved one but also to remember
the full and beautiful life experienced by the donor. Because of
her letter, I wanted to make sure I always kept in mind the unique
lives created by each muscle fiber, nerve and blood vessel we were
studying.”
Dana Eyerly, class of 2021: “This piece was inspired by the
unknown of dissecting a cadaver, as if the black strokes at the
top represent the unknown anatomy we’ll discover below. As our
knowledge and skills grow, those black strokes become lighter, until
we find clarity and serenity with the anatomy of the human body.”
